1927 Fordson tractor photo – 1963
About 200 people were present at Elliott, Iowa Sunday afternoon,
Mar. 27, 1966 at 2:45 PM when a Titan 30-60 of about 1910 or 1911
was started and was run for the first time in about 45 years. It
had been buried in a muddy grave for about 40 years.
Two years ago to the month the Titan was removed from the bottom
of the 10 ft. ditch by my Father A. C. Eshelman of Elliott, Iowa.
Many days of work were required and many parts the other drum was
the haulback; to pull the line and hook back into the bush to haul
out more logs.
At one logging camp, the Fordson was mounted on crawler tracks,
had high tension magneto, and the outside oil pump was taken from
an old 490 Chev. engine and 2 drums in front of the radiator were
driven from the belt pulley by a roller chaina real moving power
plant in the woods.

we cannot use negatives, only prints. Black and white is
preferable. All material should be typed DOUBLE SPACED, pleat. We
understand not everyone can have their material typed, but we
receive a lot of material that is already typewritten but single

advise-able that you get permission from the publisher for us to us
them.
